Other families left their children at the centre because they were too poor to give them adequate care. Some prejudice against education still exists among the tribes The government provides free schooling, but a home must be available to allow the children to stay in one area long enough to at­ tend school. The home cares for boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 13, and the school goes to the seventh grade. The curriculum includes history, geography, science, math and religion. A football field is located on the grounds, and the children enjov athletics, singing and folk dancing. They may also participate in drama, music, wildlife and Christian clubs, take part in Scouting ac­ tivities and compete in the annual school Olympic games.The three-term school years begins in January, and holidays occur in April, August and December.

They spon­ sor a child at a Home operated by an international Christian association. The Home is located about 300 miles north of Nairobi in semi-desert land inhabited by nomadic tribes.

School runs from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a two-hour lunch break. Homework and evening chores are done before supper at 7:30, and the children have free time until lights out at 9:30. The first boy I wrote to was about 15. Records of births are not kept in his part of the country, and the school estimates the child’s age. Lkashudu was keen on athletics, especially track and field, and was eager to hear about the Olympics held in Canada. He said he used a map when our letters came and was learning about Canada little by little. His parents were both liv­ ing; he had two brothers and two sisters, but he was the only one in school. In the holidays, he helped look after his father’s five “very skinny” cows. When he completed grade seven, he left the Home. It is too expensive and time­ consuming for the agency to record the forwarding ad­ dresses of all the children. The hardest part for me has been losing contact with him and wondering what he is do­ ing. In one of his last letters, he wrote: “I don’t know what I will do when I finish my primary education, because my father wants me at home. He does not need me for the work because he is young and has other children, but he like me to stay with him because I am first born. He does not know what education is ... I do not like to go back to the hut and have easy life or aimless life all the primitive did up to now.” Lkashudu's sponsorship was replaced by a ten-year- old boy named Salol, who proudly informed me he finished sixth out of twenty- four students in class two. He was excited about enter­ ing grade three. For the first few weeks, the subjects were difficult, but he added, “I like them, and I'm going to work hard to improve my marks.” And he did. He told me about a six- week holiday in which he visited his parents, sisters and brothers and helped to fetch water and firewood. He said he was glad to be at home because he hadn’t seen his family for a long time, but he was also glad to get back to school with all his friends. In my correspondence. I’m supposed to help the children learn about their sponsors and our country, which is so different from theirs. But in reality, I’m the one who is learning. One message comes through repeatedly from the boys. To them, learning is a “privilege”. They have to ■ live apart from their families and the only way of life they have known. Yet they feel they are the for­ tunate ones in their familie. because they are getting an education. They are hungry for knowledge. It seems a shame that, in many cases, the door of learning is open­ ed to them only to be slammed in their faces a short time later. In Canada, opportunities fdr education are varied and easily accessible to most people. We take education for granted and sometimes even grumble about it. Maybe we could learn a lesson from youngsters thousands of miles away struggling for a chance to learn.
